I know the Minister has held a number of online briefings. I have no doubt about his commitment and that of the Government to this matter. The Taoiseach is one of the people whose apartment was affected by it. I hear a little glimmer of hope in that the interim scheme is opening very shortly or in a matter of weeks. I hope it is not just that the announcement will take place in a matter of weeks and we will still be looking at late 2024 before there will actually be money in people's hands. When there is an emergency, we need a triage system whereby this is done and produced very quickly. I would like to know that the interim scheme will actually put money in people's pockets to deal with the necessary remediation works.
